Been watching the price and didn't see anything over Black Friday come close, finally back down to $79 and hopefully able to make gaming sessions easier over the festive season!

Plenty of third party controllers that can be had for cheaper, and also much much more so this is my preferred controller over the included controllers

    Same price at HN so you can price match somewhere else.

      Price match at JB and use 15% off gift cards to pay for it

        This is the better option as you don't run the risk of fakes with retail outlets. That's not the case with Amazon with its comingled inventory strategies (stock from random sellers gets lumped in same storage bin with official seller).

        how is it 15% off? Doesn't look like it

    Was lucky enough to get this for $49 last year I don't think we will see those prices again :/

      I secured one in that deal too. Based on a lot of previous deals nowadays it's usually only on sale regularly for $79 and occasionally will dip to $69 at times.

    How come the Switch controller looks the same as the Xbox controller?

    • Guybrush57 on 09/12/2022 - 23:01

      Because Microsoft copied Nintendo then switched the ABXY buttons hoping no one would notice.

      • smartazz104 on 12/12/2022 - 21:40

        Sony copied Nintendo, Microsoft improved on the design. Then 15 years later this came out.

  • rygle on 09/12/2022 - 21:47

    Alternative great controller that is designed to work great with a variety of devices, including switch…

    • Damannation on 09/12/2022 - 23:44

      They are good controllers but their downfall is not being able to 'wake' the console when its in sleep mode.

      • Pud3000 on 10/12/2022 - 00:30

        Pressing the home button works for me.

        • Damannation on 10/12/2022 - 00:48

          On the 8bitdo-pro?

            @Damannation: Oh, sorry mate, i was talking about the NS Pro Controller.

      • formulated on 10/12/2022 - 08:14

        Walk over to pick up controller, turn it on, turn on the controller, sit down - done.

        I get it would be nice to have an arrangement that saves you 6 seconds. But this is a portable system with controllers people travel with. Those few extra steps ensure you can transport the console without it being turned on all the time.

        • Xizo on 10/12/2022 - 14:02

          I have this one and can confirm it wakes the Switch up. Also has been working great for me

    • BargainBobcat on 10/12/2022 - 01:07

      Thanks for the idea. I just added my $10 perks and getting it for $65 :-)

      • BargainBobcat on 10/12/2022 - 03:40

        Has anyone had experience with the 8bitdo Bluetooth Ultimate?

        Which is better, the alternate 8bitdo controllers or the Nintendo Switch Pro controller?

      Nintendo Switch Pro replica controller for $49.95 - https://shop.tegal.com.au/collections/black-friday-sales-202…

      Practically identical except for less nuanced rumble.

      Very quick postage vs. getting the same replica from Ali for $29 and not arriving before the 25th.

    • DeToxin on 10/12/2022 - 11:44

      do the 8bitdo's have gyro features?

      • rygle on 13/12/2022 - 10:03

        Several of them have 6 axis gyro that only works on the switch, perhaps Wii and/or WiiU as well.

  • skeeo on 09/12/2022 - 22:05

    Argh bought one for $88 a week ago

    you will love it OP. Bought mine at the last sale. We have 2 other non nintendo controllers and the geniuine one feels so much more solid and satisfying.

    The best thing is the battery size in this is huge and lasts up to 40 hours vs 6-8 hours of the non nintendo ones.

    My girls are using this one in preference all the time now for Mario Kart and hours on other games.

  • Heckaru on 09/12/2022 - 22:51

    Love all my pro controllers but a word of warning I find the D-pad on all of them extremely inaccurate and mushy. If you're playing pad centric games like Tekken, DmC etc it's borderline infuriating. For everything else it's the bomb :)

    • cerealsmok3r on 10/12/2022 - 10:01

      Yeah they’re kinda shot and poopy. The limited edition runs are a lot better but alas they’re harder to get your hands on and even harder to find them on sale

    I bought this but why the vibration is so weak? I expected to use this for other purpose too but it doesn't work

    • scuderiarmani on 10/12/2022 - 08:16

      You tell us all what other purposes?

      • javawoo on 10/12/2022 - 09:57

        using it for PC games

    Fun fact: there is an Easter egg on switch pro controllers that says "THX2ALLGAMEFANS"

  • Kyx on 09/12/2022 - 23:50

    This or the Gulikit Kingkong pro?

  • ptl93 on 10/12/2022 - 00:05

    I bought this during last month sale. Spent countless hours on Zelda and only had to charge once a week. Worth it.

  • Trentgibbo3 on 10/12/2022 - 10:36

    Assume this doesn't work with PC? Anyone have a good recommendation for a budget wireless controller for PC?

      Look no futher. Best of the best

      • javawoo on 10/12/2022 - 13:01

        This one was $40 and still selling $50 in other countries. 100 in Aus lol

      • Trentgibbo3 on 10/12/2022 - 14:51

        Thanks. Better than the xbox carbon for the same price?

  • Naigrabzo on 10/12/2022 - 14:57

    I got one from Ali ages ago but the OG ones are better for very heavy use over years.

    still on the best controllers for switch :D

  • BargainsGrabber on 12/12/2022 - 14:58
